True Detective: Seasons 1 & 2Available May 5th

Whether you preferred the McConaughey/Harrelson original, or were weirdly mad about the Vaughn/Farrell/McAdams era, now you can watch both seasons back from the beginning. Maybe that second season will make more sense upon repeat viewing? We’re not making any promises.

Full of chills, thrills, and disturbing sex scenes, this critically acclaimed yet popularly underrated transatlantic horror series brings Victorian literary characters back to life in the most unexpected of ways. With an impossibly good looking cast including Eva Green, Josh Hartnett, Reeve Carney, Harry Treadaway and, er.. Timothy Dalton.

The show that needs no introduction is available in full on NOW TV for you to go back to the beginning, in case you need to brush up on your knowledge to know what exactly is happening in the shock-filled current season. It won’t necessarily teach you how to spell everyone’s names, though.

A comedy that’s as smart as it is hilarious, Mike Judge’s half hour sitcom about a bunch of antisocial computer programmers who find themselves sitting on a techie goldmine is full of cringeworthy misadventures, but also a surprising amount of heart.

Prepare for the much anticipated reboot of David Lynch’s iconic supernatural crime drama by watching the first two mind-boggling seasons all over again. Or if you haven’t seen it yet, see what all the fuss is about. Just don’t Google who murdered Laura Palmer, for goodness’s sake.

Think your family’s got issues? You should check out the Sopranos! Full of sex, violence, dodgy dealings, power struggles, and a whole lot of deeply rooted psychological issues, this is universally regarded as one of the best shows of all time, so you’d better hurry up and watch it already.

It’s worth going back and watching Boardwalk Empire all over again just to play spot the up-and-coming actor. From Man of Steel‘s Michael Shannon to Daredevil‘s Charlie Cox and Vinyl‘s Bobby Cannevale, they all got their big break in this Prohibition-era tale of gangsters, power and corruption.

As rumours circulate about an upcoming spinoff, make sure you’ve watched all five seasons of this acclaimed cult crime drama following the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club in California’s Central Valley. It’s badass.

Yep, it’s the one from Captain America! With her own spicy series! If you’re not yet familiar with Revenge, you’re in for one heck of a ride. Kind of like a modern Dallas/Dynasty, the soap opera follows the emotionally troubled young Emily as she embarks on a mission to exact revenge against all those who wronged her murdered father. Things get pretty tangled indeed..
